This community service program aims to empower the community of Ujung Tanah District, Makassar City in circular economy-based waste management. Ujung Tanah District as a coastal area with high population density faces complex waste problems, especially waste that ends up in the sea and disrupts the coastal ecosystem. The activities were conducted in four urban villages, namely Ujung Tanah, Tabaringan, Pattingalloang, and Pattingalloang Baru, involving 120 households as direct participants. The implementation methods included socialization and education, waste sorting and processing training, establishment of Waste Banks, mentoring for recycled product creation, and marketing system development. The results showed a significant improvement in community knowledge about waste management, with average scores increasing from 45.2 to 82.6. Four active Waste Bank units were established with a total of 320 household customers. The managed waste volume reached 2.4 tons per month with an economic value of IDR 8,500,000 per month. Recycled products include ecobrick crafts, bags from plastic packaging, and compost fertilizer. This program successfully changed the community paradigm from dumping waste into the sea to managing waste as a source of income.

Waste from used Polypropylene (PP) and High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) plastic is problematic in its management. The purpose of this research is to obtain the fatigue life of a mixture of used PP and HIPS plastics in its pure plastic. The research method is through the stages of mixing pure PP and 50% volume of used PP, pure HIPS and 50% volume of used HIPS, injection molding of R.R. Moore standard fatigue test specimens for pure PP, pure HIPS, pure PP + used PP, and pure HIPS + used HIPS, checking the straightness and smoothness of the molded specimen surface, fatigue testing with increasing serial loads, analysis of the bending stress curve (S) against fatigue life (N). The results showed that mixing used PP and used HIPS in pure plastic affected the fatigue life at the test speed (n)=2100 rpm for recycled PP was 9.84% shorter than pure PP, and at n=1600 rpm for recycled PP it was 9.32% shorter than pure PP, while at n=2100 rpm for recycled HIPS it was 4.45% shorter than pure HIPS, and at n=1600 rpm for recycled HIPS is 4.77% shorter than pure HIPS, while the fatigue life of pure PP is 1627704 cycles and the fatigue life of pure HIPS is 1291636 cycles or the fatigue life of pure HIPS is 20.65% shorter than pure PP, the implication of which is that the addition of used PP and used HIPS reduces the fatigue life to 9.84% for PP and 4.45% for HIPS.

This study explores the practice of participatory communication and creative production implemented by the Anggrek Waste Bank along the Ciliwung River as an educational strategy for flood disaster mitigation. The research aims to understand how community-based waste management initiatives can serve as platforms for environmental learning and social empowerment. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this study investigates social dynamics, interaction patterns, and meanings constructed by residents through collaborative waste management and creative production activities. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that participatory communication is manifested not only in formal education, counseling, or campaigns, but also in everyday interactions, creative workshops, and collective community work. Creative products such as recycled crafts, soap made from used cooking oil, and eco enzymes function as symbolic communication media that persuasively convey ecological messages while providing tangible economic benefits. These practices foster a sense of ecological responsibility, strengthen social solidarity, and enhance community resilience to flooding. This study concludes that participatory communication integrated with creative production serves as an effective model for promoting sustainable behavior and community-based flood mitigation in urban environments.

This Community Service Programme was implemented to address the issues faced by Bank Sampah Anggrek's partners in Bendogerit Village, Blitar City. The main problems faced by the partners included limited variety of recycled products, simple waste processing techniques, and ineffective marketing strategies. Activities include socialisation, strengthening local partnerships, recycling training, and digital marketing assistance. As a result, members of the Waste Bank were able to create three new products: plant pots made from orange peels, carnival costumes made from fabric and plastic waste, and ecobrick furniture, and establish collaborations with two local businesses. The constraints of the Community Service Programme activities included limited production facilities, inconsistent participant attendance, low digital literacy, and competition with traditional waste collectors. This programme demonstrates that a waste bank-based sociopreneurship model can have economic, social, and environmental impacts while supporting sustainable waste management strategies. The programme was also successful due to its participatory approach, which actively involved Anggrek Waste Bank members in every step. Participants not only gained new information, but also acquired practical skills that can be used in the processing and marketing of recycled goods. This community service programme greatly helps to raise awareness of the importance of community-based circular economy. While reducing negative impacts on the environment, the sociopreneurship model can boost the community's economy. Bank Sampah Anggrek has the potential to develop into a centre for sustainable waste management innovation at the neighbourhood level by strengthening local capacity and opening up opportunities for cross-sector collaboration.

Population growth and lifestyle changes in Indonesia have led to complex waste management issues, negatively impacting social, health, and environmental sustainability aspects. To address this, a sustainable management approach that actively involves community participation is necessary. The concept of a Waste Bank, based on the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), emerges as a strategic, community-based solution. This community service program aims to encourage active community participation in the Waste Bank program in Tanjung Uban Selatan, Bintan Regency, while supporting the realization of a Smart City based on intelligent and participatory environments. The methodology used is a qualitative approach to gain in-depth understanding. Primary data collection was carried out through interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies. Key informants were purposively selected from various stakeholders, including Waste Bank administrators, local government representatives, and community members. The results show that, although initially challenging to increase community participation, the program has had a significant positive impact. It successfully shifted the community's view of waste as a valuable economic resource. Quantitatively, this is reflected in stable income from the sale of high-quality inorganic waste, such as metals and electronic waste. The program also led to strategic innovations, including sustainable education, waste savings incentives, social media use, and the "Dasi Umat" empowerment program. The success of this program, strengthened by awards at the district and national levels, makes it a model for sustainable waste management focused on community empowerment and supporting smart city development.

Waste remains one of the major environmental issues and a serious challenge in rural communities. The lack of discipline in waste disposal and limited knowledge of the impact of non-biodegradable waste have contributed to declining environmental quality and potential health problems. In Buniwangi Village, Pagelaran Subdistrict, Cianjur Regency, these conditions highlight the need for educational programs that provide practical understanding while fostering community awareness. This community service activity aimed to improve residents’ awareness of waste management through visual education media in the form of information boards displaying the decomposition time of various types of waste, ranging from organic to non-organic materials. The implementation method applied an asset-based community development (ABCD) approach, emphasizing active community participation. The program was carried out in three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The preparation stage included location surveys, needs mapping, and obtaining permission from village authorities. The implementation stage involved designing attractive educational boards, installing them at strategic points in the village, and conducting socialization to explain the information provided. The evaluation stage was carried out through direct observation and short interviews to assess the program’s impact on community knowledge and behavior.The results indicated an improvement in residents’ understanding of the differences between biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. Villagers began to show awareness of reducing single-use plastics and started applying the 3R principles (reduce, reuse, recycle) in daily life. Overall, this program had a positive impact by fostering greater environmental concern and became an initial step toward building a sustainable waste management culture in Buniwangi Village.

This study aims to analyze the main challenges in managing Community-Based Tourism (CBT) and develop a sustainable management model for Cemagi Tourism Village, Badung, Bali. This study uses a qualitative approach by combining primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained through field observations, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), while secondary data were obtained from literature studies and related documents. The analysis was conducted using the SWOT method and qualitative descriptive methods to describe the actual conditions and opportunities for tourism village development. The results show that tourism village management still faces several challenges, particularly in the aspects of promotion and preservation. Collaboration with various stakeholders is necessary, particularly in utilizing social media as an effective promotional tool. In addition, the preservation of local nature and culture is key to sustainable tourism. The proposed management model places the village government and traditional villages as mentors, Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) and Tourism Awareness Groups (Pokdarwis) as managers, and the community as active actors in every stage of development. The model refers to the POAC (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling) management theory, taking into account three aspects of sustainability. First, the economic aspect, through increasing village income, creating jobs, and equitable profit sharing through the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes). Second, the socio-cultural aspect, realized through preserving cultural heritage, improving the quality of human resources through tourism training, and strengthening the role of traditional arts. Third, the environmental aspect, with a focus on preserving subak (village-owned enterprises) and green spaces, managing waste using the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle), and nature conservation. Thus, sustainable tourism management requires strong collaboration, cultural preservation, and environmental awareness to ensure long-term benefits for local communities.  

Plastic waste continues to be one of the most pressing environmental problems due to its persistence, excessive use in daily life, and difficulty in decomposition. In many communities, including Tanjung Uban Selatan Village, unmanaged plastic waste accumulates in the environment, contributing to pollution and health risks. This community service activity aims to introduce and implement ecobricks as a simple yet effective solution to manage plastic waste. Ecobricks are not designed to destroy plastic but to recycle and repurpose it into useful and even marketable products. The process of making ecobricks requires no special expertise or significant costs, as the primary material is household plastic waste. The activity involved socialization, practical workshops, and guidance for residents on how to properly produce ecobricks. Results from the program show that residents were able to collect and process previously unmanaged plastic waste into solid, reusable building blocks. These ecobricks have potential applications for creating furniture, decorative items, and even small-scale construction, thereby providing both environmental and economic value. Beyond reducing plastic waste, the initiative also fosters community awareness about sustainable waste management practices and promotes environmental responsibility. In conclusion, the introduction of ecobricks in Tanjung Uban Selatan Village demonstrates that simple innovations can empower communities to transform environmental challenges into opportunities for sustainability and income generation.

Waste management remains a significant challenge in Dusun Balinappang, Desa Bontoramba, Kecamatan Pallangga, Kabupaten Gowa, Makassar City. Low community awareness regarding waste sorting and proper management has led to a decline in environmental health quality. Improper waste management can result in various environmental problems, such as water, soil, and air pollution. To address this issue, a community service activity was conducted with the aim of improving public knowledge and awareness on proper waste management through the 3R approach (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). The method used for this activity involved education through the use of posters. The posters were designed to be visually engaging and simple, making them easy for the community to understand. This visual medium effectively conveyed information about the importance of waste sorting and applying the 3R principles. Additionally, pre-tests and post-tests were used as evaluations to measure the change in participants’ knowledge before and after receiving the education. The pre-test was conducted to assess participants' initial understanding, while the post-test helped determine the extent of their knowledge improvement regarding 3R concepts and waste management practices. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the community’s understanding of 3R principles and proper waste management techniques. The community began to demonstrate positive behavior changes, such as sorting household waste more carefully and reusing materials that could be recycled. This shift contributed positively to raising environmental awareness and improving the health of the local community. With this simple yet effective education, it is hoped that the program can continue and be expanded to other areas. This initiative will contribute to creating a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment, which will have a long-term positive impact on the quality of life for the community.

The presence of scattered waste in the environment has a significant impact on both environmental sustainability and human health. In Indonesia, the accumulation of waste has reached alarming levels, amounting to approximately 175,000 tons per day, or the equivalent of 64 million tons annually. Household activities are one of the main contributors, producing a wide variety of waste, including organic and non-organic materials. Poto Village is among the areas receiving particular attention regarding this issue due to the challenges it faces in waste management. Improper management of waste not only leads to air, water, and soil pollution but also increases the risk of various health problems within the community. One of the programs designed to address this problem is the 3R program, which emphasizes three main principles: reduce, recycle, and reuse. The purpose of this community service initiative is to improve public knowledge and awareness of effective waste management through the application of 3R practices. The activities were carried out in three main stages, namely preparation, education, and discussion through a question-and-answer session. The process began with a socialization activity that introduced the objectives, purposes, and sustainability aspects of waste management efforts in the village. The educational session was attended by 30 participants, consisting of housewives, farmers, and entrepreneurs, who represented key groups within the community. Furthermore, interviews with local cadres revealed that waste is collected weekly by garbage trucks, indicating the village’s commitment to environmental management. Participants responded enthusiastically throughout the educational sessions, showing a strong interest and positive reception toward the information provided. As a follow-up step, future activities could include hands-on training in waste management using available media and tools, which would allow participants to apply the concepts learned in a practical and sustainable manner.

The problem of household organic waste management, especially kitchen waste, is still an environmental challenge that has not been handled optimally. In fact, this waste has great potential to be used as environmentally friendly products. One solution that can be applied is the manufacture of eco-enzymes, which are fermented liquids from organic waste that function as a substitute for synthetic chemicals in various household and agricultural purposes. This community service activity aims to increase the awareness and skills of residents in managing organic waste through the creation of eco-enzymes as a tangible form of applying the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) principle. The activity was carried out in Kedu Village by involving PKK women, PSRT members, the Farmer Women Group (KWT), and housewives. The methods used include counseling on the impact of household waste and the benefits of eco-enzymes, as well as direct practice of making eco-enzymes accompanied by Mrs. Faila and students of the Real Work Lecture (KKN) of Tidar University. The implementation process includes sorting kitchen waste, mixing fermentation ingredients, and monitoring yields during the incubation period. The results of the activity show that the community is able to understand the concept and techniques of making eco-enzymes well. The active participation of residents in hands-on practice reflects increased knowledge and skills in independent organic waste management. In addition, this activity encourages the formation of new sustainable habits in utilizing household waste, while reducing dependence on synthetic chemicals. Thus, this service makes a positive contribution to environmental conservation efforts and local community empowerment through educational and applicative approaches.

This research aims to explore the potential of paper waste as a recycled material that can be transformed into economically valuable products through a philanthropic approach focused on community empowerment and environmental sustainability. Paper waste is a type of waste whose volume continues to increase due to high paper consumption in various sectors. Without proper management, this waste has the potential to negatively impact the environment, such as soil and water pollution. Therefore, innovative strategies are needed to transform paper waste into new products that are not only environmentally friendly but also have market value. Through a community-based recycling program, this research emphasizes the importance of community involvement, particularly low-income groups, in every stage of the production process. The resulting creative products, such as handicrafts, decorative materials, and household items, not only extend the life cycle of paper but also open up new economic opportunities for the community. Profits from the sale of these products are allocated to fund social programs, including education, skills training, and other empowerment activities aimed at improving community well-being. The research results show that despite challenges in terms of limited technology, market access, and human resource capacity, paper recycling programs still have promising prospects if supported by various parties, including the government, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. This support can include the provision of simple technology, entrepreneurship training, and effective marketing strategies. Thus, this paper recycling initiative is not only a solution to reduce waste but also a sustainable socio-economic empowerment model, providing dual benefits for the environment and society.

This research is motivated by environmental problems caused by campaign props (APK) waste that is not properly managed after election campaigns end. Current regulations focus only on the installation and removal of APK but do not comprehensively address waste management. The purpose of this study is to analyze how APK waste management policies can align with environmental sustainability principles, as well as how election organizers and Bawaslu can support more environmentally friendly campaigns. This study uses normative legal research methods with statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that stricter and more synchronized policies are needed between election regulations and environmental regulations, including the application of reduce, reuse, recycle (3R) principles, the use of environmentally friendly campaign materials, as well as education and sanctions for election participants. The implications of this study are expected to encourage improvements in regulation and collaboration between institutions so that election campaigns not only uphold democratic principles but also support environmental sustainability.

This study analyzes the use of non-standard words in a thesis entitled "Effectiveness of Waste Management Based on Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (TPS 3R) Waste Disposal Sites at TPS Jokotole, Barurambat Timur Village, Pademawu District, Pamekasan Regency". The use of language is an essential thing in communicating, both orally and in writing to convey messages and information so that they are conveyed effectively. However, language errors are often found, especially the use of non-standard words, even by someone who has a deep understanding of Indonesian language rules. The use of standard language is very important to avoid misunderstandings, especially in the context of scientific writing such as theses. This research method uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collected then analyzed, classified, and evaluated standard and non-standard vocabulary based on KBBI. The results of this study indicate that many uses of non-standard words include errors in phonology, morphology, use of the preposition "di", punctuation, and non-standard spelling errors, as well as word wasting. These errors are mostly caused by habits, the influence of foreign languages, and a lack of understanding of standard language rules. The research findings highlight the importance of understanding the application of standard language rules in scientific writing to improve the quality of students' writing.  

Indonesian language learning at the junior high school level requires students not only to comprehend texts but also to apply them in real-life contexts. One of the essential text types to be taught is the procedural text, which aims to develop students’ instructional abilities as well as their sequential and systematic thinking skills. This study aims to describe the implementation of an ecology-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in teaching procedural texts in junior high school. The research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collection techniques included observation, documentation, and interviews. The researcher and the teacher collaborated to discuss the application of the ecology-based PjBL model in teaching procedural texts to seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 4 Surakarta. The researcher then observed the procedural text learning activities carried out by the teacher using the PjBL model and conducted an evaluation of the model's implementation, student engagement, and the effectiveness of the activities in achieving learning objectives. The results indicated that the implementation of the ecology-based PjBL model effectively increased students’ active participation, enhanced their understanding of procedural text concepts, and fostered early awareness of waste management and environmental conservation.

Tinambung Village is the center of trade and services in Tinambung District. In general, trade and service businesses are activities that involve buying and selling goods and/or services between traders and buyers. In the trade and service area, problems certainly arise, one of which is the problem of waste. Therefore, we conduct community service in the form of socialization regarding waste management using the 3R method, namely Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle in Tinambung Village, Polewali Mandar Regency. This activity is in the form of socialization regarding waste management using the 3R method, namely Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle in Tinambung Village, Polewali Mandar Regency. Community service activities begin with an evaluation by filling out a questionnaire to determine the level of understanding of the Tinambung Village community regarding the 3R concept. and the results are still many participants who do not know or are not familiar with the 3R concept. Then, socialization is carried out to provide an understanding of the 3R concept to participants. After that, organic waste processing practices were carried out, namely by making compost. This socialization activity to the community is not only to introduce 3R-based waste management, but also to teach the community how to directly practice managing waste according to the 3R method

The 3R program (reduce, reuse, recycle) is one of the programs of the Surabaya City Environmental Office in managing waste problems in Surabaya. With the population density in Surabaya, it does not rule out the possibility of a large number of waste consumption, especially plastic waste. This study aims to see the level of effectiveness of the implementation of the 3R program (reduce, reuse, recycle) in Surabaya City by the Surabaya City Environmental Office. The author looks at DLH Surabaya's efforts in improving the quality of waste management, especially plastic waste and sees what factors support the success of the 3R program in processing plastic waste in Surabaya. Plastic waste has a nature that is difficult to decompose and requires a long time even hundreds of years to decompose. Therefore, DLH Surabaya applies waste management with the 3R concept. The method used in this study is descriptive evaluative. The results of the author's research during his internship at DLH Surabaya show that waste management using the 3R concept (reduce, reuse, recycle) runs effectively as evidenced by the reduction of waste in Surabaya by around 1.5 tons of waste per day and 2 tons of plastic waste per day. The author examines using effectiveness theory according to Sugiyono in Budianni, which includes 3 effectiveness indicators, namely, Target accuracy, Socialization, Monitoring.
